<P>If you like trains and travel, you should join the Twentieth
Century Railroad Club! Since 1971, "the Century" has been
the first choice of Chicago-area railfans who prefer to enjoy their
hobby as members of a dynamic club offering a wide range of
activities. We're also the first choice of smart travelers, who know
how enjoyable it is to take the train -- the most civilized form of
land transportation ever invented.</P>
<P>Each year, our Club schedules ten to twenty trips for members and
the public, including one-day excursions on commuter and Amtrak
trains, two- or three-day weekend adventures via Amtrak, and
elaborate five- to ten-day <I>Vacations with the Century.</I> On the
latter, you'll experience what one writer described as "...the
romance of the night train...dinner in the diner...cocktails in the
club car...the soothing rhythm of steel wheels on steel
rails...A passage through time, space and history...and the heart of
America's memories."</P>
<P>On the second Wednesday of each month (except January, July,
August, and December), we hold a Members Meeting at Chicago Union
Station. These meetings include multi-media presentations examining a
particular aspect of railroading, such as steam locomotives,
streetcars, "dinner in the diner" or the history of various
railroad companies.</P>
<P>Club members also share their enthusiasm for rail travel with the
general public. We've carried over 60,000 passengers aboard our
"special" trains chartered from Amtrak, our nostalgic
excursions powered by steam locomotives, and our exclusive "private
varnish" excursions aboard luxurious, fully-restored vintage
railroad cars. These trains give our members a chance to earn free
passage by volunteering to serve on board as car hosts, entertainers,
bartenders, waiters and cooks.</P>
<P>In fact, <I>all</I> Club activities are planned and carried out by
Club members, who donate their time and expertise. We invite you to
join us! You'll soon learn why Agatha Christie wrote that "Trains
are wonderful...to travel by train is to see nature and human beings,
towns and churches and rivers; in fact, to see life."</P>
<P>The nearly 1,000 members of our Club are kept well-informed by our
quarterly newsletter, <I>The Fast Mail</I>, a publication filled with
details of Club activities, rail-related news items and photos and
articles on railroad history.</P>
<P>The Club has a $10 student membership available (age 17 or
younger), so don’t forget your sons, daughters, nieces,
nephews, etc. Younger people are always welcome; indeed the Club’s
founding fathers were teenagers at the time it was started!
</P>
<P>Now you know why membership in the Twentieth Century Railroad Club
is so rewarding: whether you like to do your railroading as a
passenger, as a volunteer or as a student of history, our Club has
what you're looking for! To become a member, just click <A HREF="memberap.htm"><I><B>here</B></I></A>,
print and fill out the order blank and mail it to us with your
payment. You'll receive your membership card and your first issue of
<I>The Fast Mail</I> in about two weeks.</P>
<P>The Twentieth Century Railroad Club is incorporated as a
not-for-profit educational and historical organization.
